Pekin Duck Club!

They are great! They are always eager to come inside when I'm in there. Okay, they are eager when they hear the tell-tale sound of something going into the water dish!
Duckling understands how to put on boots now (thanks to playing with her new winter boots) so muck boots are easier and cleaner to get on. Now I can hold her up while she slips her feet in. She can (but shouldn't!) lift a gallon of water. So, she carries two jugs with about a quart of water each.
I do dread her "I want a new animal " phase. I'm okay with getting her most anything. I only have one acre, but I'll make it work! Ha ha ha!

They don't know it, but they have been enjoying the warm weather. If you had any lingering doubts about them adjusting to the cold, this warm weather should give them the extra time to get used to sleeping outside before the world freezes over.

You guys are so quiet! I had to go back and see what I said wrong!
If it was "outside " I was assuming you realized I meant the coop versus the basement. They don't sleep in the open!

@MotorcycleChick busy days right now, I think you'll see everyone back on later. I haven't been home long and have to go start getting everyone in for the night. So I'll be back..

Today we finally all free ranged together... For about ten minutes. A dog (Shadow) ran into the yard. The ducks yelled at him, and waddled back to the run. When I gave up on him leaving, and he wasn't bothering any birds, I opened the duck run again and told them to come back out.
Shadow is an intact male lab that was peeing on everything! Even my wooden swing!! So ticked! He was also annoying Sturgis by licking his head... Uh. And "there". It's been an hour and my head still hurts. Either the guy came for him or not having Sturgis to play with made him go home. For the record, he broke a thick chain to get here.
Anyway!! The ducks scared the chickens. It was funny. Not like terrified, but still they ran when Jojo went after them.
The picture won't post.
